Thank you, Eric. Seasons like this could definitely make a drinker out of me, but I'm determined to figure out who I am beyond all that. I welcome your prayer as I look forward.

Unionized to protect employees and not expecting layoffs. Hope they survive the times.

Well, much has happened. I broke my ankle on Nov 4 then my mother passed away Nov 6. My sister came to stay several days to help me. Six weeks post surgery and I'm finally taking steps with a boot. I will return to work Jan 2. I'm certainly ready to begin again.
